Not That Aloof

Lofty sit on clouds,
Leaves me stunned sometimes.
I didn't expect to stay afloat so long.
Nor did I expect neighbors to complain
About the continuous use of the smoke machine,
I use for 'my' visions!

They could have borrowed it at anytime!
But no...
They had to call the police,
Anonymously!
To say my routine interfered with the 'sight' of their dinner!
I know just who that was!
The last time I ate there...
A little smog would have encouraged my appetite.
They could have told me,
They could not see driving home at night!
I am not 'that' aloof or thoughtless.

Expect Your ………….You!

Expect your friend to be not better than you;
Expect your neighbor to not forgive you;
Expect your country not to goad you;
Expect your siblings to but discourage you;
Expect your children to not care for you;
Expect your spouse to rather hinder you;
Expect your love to always forget you;
Expect your home sometimes to ignore you;
Expect your native place to not honor you;
Expect the world to disregard you;
Expect your enemy to well hate you;
Expect your Maker to much love you;
Expect your God to never forsake you;
Expect your Lord and God to never abandon you.

Expect No Mercy

If youre ready for the street
You wanna mix it in some fight
Let me tell you somethin
Now I dont wanna get you uptight
But if youre in a corner
And you cant find no way out
Dont look around for no help
No, no there wont be any around
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
So you think you got a case
And you think you know the score
No you dont wanna listen
You cant be told no more
But waitll you get out there
You better do it right
cause the streets are lined with things that kill
And theyre hidin in the night
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Feel that you can cut it
You think you got the time
Theyll only give you one chance
Better get it right first time
And the game youre playing
If you lose you gotta pay
If you make just one wrong move
Youll get blown away
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy

Expect More

Expect more,
From yourself...
Before your self respect,
becomes enclosed
Behind shut doors.

Expect more,
Not less.
When your best,
Has been ignored.

Expect more,
Or you'll be next...
Left when your intentions,
Begin to bore.

Expect more,
From those awake.
But the exchange makes them snore.

Expect more,
If a game played becomes too straight.
And you must be that whore!
To gain the attention,
Some express you adore.

Expect more...
From them and yourself to win.
In this life expect more.
Don't accept what is suspected.
Don't throw tantrums and fits...
Just to keep limits explored!

Expect more!

How Long Has This Been Planned?

The guests are due to arrive,
By the end of the week.
Do you think we can,
Get the new furniture, remodel the house...
And have the landscaping done,
Before the caterers do the luncheon...
This Saturday afternoon.

'What caterers?
How long have you known about this?
And 'why' is this the first I've heard of it.'

Do NOT tell me you forgot to call the caters?
Do NOT tell me that!

'How long has this been planned?
You're right.
I didn't call anybody.'

Five years.
I've been planning this for five years.
And I don't want to hear one word about procrastination.
I told you about this six months ago.
And 'still' I see nothing that you've done accomplished.

'ME?
Well...
Why didn't you remind me?
As I understand it...
These are your friends.
And high school mates.'

I know you do not expect me to keep everything on my mind.
Now you want to accuse me of being neglectful and thoughtless.

'Well, I..uh...
Hey!
What can I say?
I understand?
But you've invited 'your' guests to spend their vacation with us.
For some reason I did not put that on 'my' priority list.?

Hurry up. Hurry up,
Make your point.
You are wasting valuable time.

'If you know it is going to snow.
And you've been given ample time to prepare for it.
Why is there a need to rush to get shovels,
AFTER the blizzard? '

And I guess that philosophy,
Is going to get the caterers here on time?

'You're special.'

Don't try to start nothing.
I aint got time for your foreplay right now.

Wheres The Party

Wheres the party
By: jimmy buffett, steve goodman, b. labounty
1981
Every night the stars come out to light another town
Just because Im lonely doesnt mean that gets me down
I cruise the local drive-in watchin lovers holdin hands
Like movie stills of coupe de villes and japanese sedans
Chorus:
Wheres the party?
Wheres the party?
Everybody I know say they expect me to go to the party
Sometimes I wish the radio would learn another song
Id stay at home and watch tv if there was somethin on
Ooh but why should I get all dressed up when theres no place to go
Still everybody looks at me as if they think I know
Chorus:
Wheres the party?
Wheres the party?
Everybody I see say they expect to see me at the party
I could stay here all night long
Wait for her to call
Or I could put my walkman on
And never care at all
Still every night the stars come out to light another town
And just because Im lonely doesnt mean that gets me down
Chorus:
Wheres the party?
Wheres the party?
Everybody I know say theyd expect her to show at the party
- notes:
Lead guitar by barry chance

Ain't No Sunshine

Ain't no sunshine when shes gone
It's not wram when she's away.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
and she's always gone too long anytime she goes away.
Wander where this time she's gone
Wander if she's gonna stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
and this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away.
coz i know, i know, i know ...............
Hey i'd leave young thing alone ain't no sunshine whens she's gone.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
only darkness everyday.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
and she's always gone to long anytime she goes away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
and this house just ain;t no home

Bets Then...Were Off

I bet when you came,
You did not expect this.
I can see it in your eyes.
You lick your lips...
As you tremble!

I bet when you came,
You did not expect this?
Exposing myself,
With direct comments.
Saying that I wish,
We would undress,
And have sex!

I bet when you came,
You did not expect this?
But you did expect something.
I saw that hot and wanting to be bothered look,
Immediately.

'I bet when I came,
You did not expect to see me like this,
At all? ' She said.

And I could say nothing,
Since all bets then...were off!

People Expect Too Much From Me

aug,11,2010

people expect me to be perfect,
because i'm smart,
people expect me to get good grades,
because of all the hard work i put in,
people expect me to have my own business,
because i can be talented and creative,
people expect me to be a push over,
rather than a girl who speaks her mind,
people expect me to be something i'm not,
but all i can be is only myself,
people expect me to deal with life,
i can only deal with it the best i can,
people expect me to handle more than i can,
but who is it really for or what do i have to prove?
people expect me to be who they want,
but did they ever stop to think of what i wanted?

China Town Shuffle

Take it, you can have it, what I got baby, I can't hold
and if you find the secret tell me how to build the mold.
And I can't handle your problems so don't try to handle mine,
get yourself a shotgun, a pocketful of shells
and we can while away the time.
Look up the wall, do it right, make a mistake,
you're going to pay for it twice,
but if you need it, got to have it get yourself
a shotgun and bring it back home
Look up the wall, you know you got to call
before you start falling, get ready to fall.
and if you fallin my direction
don't expect no help at all....don't
Get it right, do it nice
and if you make a mistake, you're going to pay for it twice,
but if you need it, got to have it get yourself
a shotgun and bring it back home
Look up the wall, you know you got to call
but if you start falling, be ready to fall,
and if you fall in my direction
don't expect no help at all, don't expect no help at all,
don't expect no help at all, and if you fall in my direction
don't expect no help at all

Don't Expect An Apology

I have not been a child for so long.
So if my offensive demeanor,
Comes from an adult mind...
Free to express itself from a hiding,
You have yet dealt with.
Don't be stunned.
Or run away in tears!
With a nose you sniff.

Perhaps you should leave the playground,
Of scraped knees, sandboxes
And petty childish gossip.
I have not been a child for so long.
My adventures have been aged on paths...
That have shown me a life,
To live as it is!

And to find myself alone,
Being accountable for my steps!
Sometimes I have experienced regret.
But like all things I have accepted...
I am blessed not to stay in one spot,
To complain of rain that got me wet!
Nor do I get upset...
If thunder, lightening and clouds,
Are temporarily above my head!

I have felt sunshine too many times...
To find a moment of whining as a means,
That have ever attracted my happiness!
A maturity with learning,
Has come to me it seems!

So if my offensive demeanor,
Comes from an adult mind...
Free to express itself from a hiding,
You have yet dealt with?
Don't expect an apology.
I only give those when they are meant!
And I feel that one should be given.
And 'that' no one else gives to me,
To determine!
I'm in this life to live it!
Not to split from it...
When my feelings are hurt!
Or to dig up dirt to spread.

Don't expect an apology!
You 'aint' gettin' one of those.
Not from me!

Ain't No Sunshine

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long anytime she goes away
Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away
And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Hey, I ought to leave the young thing alone
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone, only darkness everyday
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away

Ive Come To Expect It From You

So upset
Nervous wreck
I cant believe she said goodbye
Sit and smoke
Cry and joke
About these tears in my eyes
Chorus:
How could you do what you gone and done to me
I wouldnt treat a dog the way you treated me
But thats what I get
Ive come to expect it from you
A million times
A million lines and I bought em every one
You dont care
You rip and tear every dream Ive counted on
I guess I should thank my unlucky stars
That Im alive
And youre the way you are
But thats what I get
Ive come to expect it from you
Chorus
I could raise hell
But what the hell it wouldnt do a bit of good
I can leave
My heart agrees it seems to think that I should
There wont be no more next time doing me wrong
Youll come back this time to find that Im gone
But thats what you get
You should expect that from me
Thats what I get
Ive come to expect it from you.

Picky and Petty Too

This is how the mind of those unconnected wind...
When they want something from you,
They want you to do.

They expect you to do it regardless of your time!
But don't expect 'that' from them...
You can try test after test,
And your conclusions will find...
As long as you allow them to use up your time,
They will think you have nothing else to do!
Because you think of them before yourself,
And selfishness for themselves 'first'...
Will be shown time after time to you!

That is how the mind of those unconnected wind.
And even though you know this is true...
Don't waste your time bringing it to their attention.
They will claim 'you' complain,
As well as picky and petty too!

Borrowed

borrowed shirts, borrowed shoes,
borrowed books, borrowed thoughts,
borrowed bed, borrowed lover,
borrowed dreams, borrowed salt.

borrowed children, borrowed mothers,
borrowed study, borrowed lives.
borrowed God, borrowed heaven,
borrowed killers with borrowed knives.

borrowed flags, borrowed lies,
borrowed virtue, borrowed freedom.
borrowed bombs, borrowed bullets,
borrowed puppets, borrowed kingdoms.

borrowed soup bowls, borrowed numbers,
borrowed tents, borrowed bridge.
borrowed hope, borrowed survival,
borrowed till it's sacrilige!

Work It Out

[Talk]
Hello
Hey baby
Hey look
Dinner'll be ready at 8
If your not gonna be on time
Call me okay
I know I know
But you know how you sometimes forget to call
Then I be worried

[Jerzee]
Dinner date
Always late
Didn't get a phone call
I cook
Clean
Pay bills
Still I make it home
What's going on boy
Between me and you
We don't talk no more
Kiss no more
Don't know what to do
But

[CHORUS]
I don't wanna fight no more
Stayin up at night no more
This ain't feelin right no more
Let me know

Belated

I never felt so bad
In my entire life
But this time I did it to myself
What do you expect from me?
I did it
So what do you expect from me

Let go of my hand
Is it time to go?
I'm not ready to turn my back on you yet
I'm not going to let you down

Let you down

September came so quickly
I want to prepare
I didn't mean to miss your birthday
What do you expect from me?
I did it
So what do you expect from me

Why don't you

Let go of my hand
Is it time to go?
I'm not ready to turn my back on you yet
I'm not going to let you down

Bridges will fall from under us
But we all strong
We'll (we'll) get through this
The end will open up (end will open up)
And try to pull up us in
But we'll (we'll) get through this
Get through this

So why don't you

Let go of my hand
Is it time to go?
I'm not ready to turn my back on you yet
I'm not going to let you down

Let you down

No Expectations

the clouds are better
for they expect nothing from the wind

tossed from one corner
to another
they never complain

at least, i never hear them
despite the heaviness of their burden

they let go and when it is time
they send the rain and then go away

You Didn't Mean Anything To Me

Skies were cloudy everyday
Nothing wanted to grow
We had our last chance
I think I told you so
every dinner was crummy
nothing was on T.V.
I was ready to pack it up
Our heads were so achey

You didn't mean anything to me
You didn't mean anything to me

We got to get away
Another lawn to mow
We had our last chance
I think I told you so
every dinner was crummy
even the ones for free
I was ready to pack it up
Forget the agony

You didn't mean anything to me (2x)

Everybody was cranky
even the maids were mean
We ran into a miracle
There was beer in the soda machine
every dinner was crummy
even the ones for free
I was ready to pack it up
forget the agony

You didn't mean anything to me (4x)
